I have to work eleven hours every day, so often i'm already a bit tired when i enter the gym. But after a few sets i'm alright... but i should get more sleep, that's a real problem for me... :/Anyway... i couldn't work out as often as you. Three days a week is enough for me. Otherwise i feel that i hadn't enough recovery time and start to burn out after a while...

As i already pointed out in some other posts, i normally stick to pure weight training. But i should mention that i always do full body workouts, that's why i train three times a week. My training is very oldschool... I usually abstain from cardio, since i couldn't experience great results with it, and it always seemed to let my muscles get flat. To lose fat i create a rather huge calorie deficit through my nutrition, and i restrict my carb intake very much.This procedure always brought me pretty good results...

high volume works for me. i dont like going too too heavy without a spot or without feeling really good, afraid to get injured or pinned so i go high volume usually.

121.2. Did me my HIIT cardio this morning before anything - 25 mins treadmill 15% incline 60 seconds 3.5 mph 30 seconds 4.5 mph. so tonight i can go in and do a long back session and not feel rushed. work on my pull ups.

sleeping is getting rougher and rougher, i take that to mean the diet is working. happened last time...only 7 more weeks till caffeine pills haha.

actually i think it doesn't depend on your gender... i'd just say everyone's body's different. for some people cardio works very well for cutting, for others not. and of course it's only one piece of the puzzle, caus everything interacts with each other. cardio, weight training and your nutrition... these are the three main adjusting screws. but in my eyes nutrition is the most important one, especially for fat loss...

no doubt nutrition is key but i need that extra push from cardio. and i do think that since females naturally store more body fat cardio is pretty essential to get down to such low levels. my coach said i was probably at 12 % for last comp, we're shooting for 10% this time...
